    Getting my degree... advice?

    So I am more and more aware of the fact that I need to finish school. I have a couple years completed from the university of Nebraska, but I stopped taking classes a while back due to trying to pay for rent/bills/car insurance, etc.

    I still don't feel like I have the time or money for a traditional university/college, and have been looking into online schools. I have a couple I am looking at, but honestly, I would be getting a degree for the sake of having one, and programs I'm really interested in don't really exist in online/distance learning form.

    If I am getting a psych degree, with no plans to actually go into psychology, will the average employer really see online schooling any differently than a traditional school, or is it only relevant that I have a degree at all? I want to be able to go at my pace financially, balancing work/bills/school, but I don't want to start an online program only to find out most employers see this type of education as less credible than a traditional approach.

    Need some advice for anybody who has a similar experience or input! Please and thank you
